Squee Factor

Okay, no review, but a cryptic set of notes on what made me squee (as spoiler-free as possible and in no particular order):

Those titles
Clara works where? And the governor is who?
The scarf
"I am from your past. Or maybe your future"
The horse
Comparing sonics (and glasses)
Those eyes
That familiar voice
Code name: Cromer
The round things
The board with all the faces
I want that final image as a painting

And for those in the cinema the video on cinema etiquette and the 3D glasses instructions were brilliant. I hope they're DVD extras for those who saw it at home.  

And that's just what I can think of off the top of my head. 


This it it...

Okay, ladies and gents. Tonight's the night we've all been waiting for. I haven't wanted to blog too much about it for fear of overhyping it but tonight we get to see The Day of the Doctor.  

I'm wearing my 11 Whoville Doctors T-shirt, the classic TARDIS key is round my neck, my sonic screwdriver is in my pockete and I'm trying to decide whether or not to take my pet Adipose for company. In about an hour, I'll be leaving for the cinema to see Doctor Who on the big screen in 3D.

I won't be reviewing it tonight. I'll wait till I'm home from work tomorrow (and maybe watched it a couple more times).  In a few days, I'll also review all the surrounding BBC programmes dedicated to our hero. 

But tonight, let's all raise a glass to the man who has made us laugh, cry and think for the last 50 years: The Doctor.
